Teary right eye


Recently my right eye has become teary. The tears run down my cheeks and it is embarrassing. Is this an allergy problem?

The first thing I recommend is that you see an eye doctor. Do not see any other specialist because they will mess you up- the eye is not something you want idiotic healthcare providers to mess with. If the problem is in one eye, I doubt it is allergy but more likely an anatomical problem.

Normally tears drain in a duct located on the nasal side of your eye. It could be that the ostium (hole) is blocked and may need to be opened up. When the ostium is blocked, tears usually run down on the face. The procedure to open the ostium is rather simple and short. So see and eye doctor.
